Good nutrition is more than just vitamins and minerals
In the 1920’s, medical reseachers began to identify and document the link between nutrition and health. They soon discovered that several diseases - pellagra, beriberi, some forms of anemia, rickets, etc. - were caused by dietary deficiencies of single vitamins and minerals. As researchers continued their investigations, they found an ever-increasing degree of complexity. It was becoming clear that vitamins and minerals alone were not the only healthful nutritional “links” in the “Chain of Life.” Other nutrients - lipids, sterols, food-related factors (such as phytonutrients), enzymes, proteins and carbohydrates - were also needed.
Formula IV and formula IV plus: The perfect "chain of life" nutrition supplements
In 1958, with great care and attention to the intricacies of human nutrition, scientists at GNLD (formerly Neo-Life Company of America) developed a revolutionary nutritional supplement. The original product was Formula IV and more recently Formula IV Plus was added to the line. Both products share the goal of strengthening the major nutritional “links” in the “Chain of Life.” Formula IV andFormula IV Plus offers something unique to health-conscious consumers. They contain not just vitamins and minerals, but also lipids, sterols, enzymes and a complex array of other naturally derived nutrients.
Insightfully formulated with whole-food ingredients, Formula IV was a product ahead of its time and Formula IV Plus is an iron free update of this timeless nutritional supplement. Both versions of Formula IV address the need to provide both nutrient density and nutrient diversity. The original multifactor food supplement, it represented a giant leap forward in the attempt to achieve optimum nutrition through a well-balanced diet with sound supplementation to make up for occasional dietary “gaps.” It was a revolutionary product concept in 1958 and today, even after over four decades of customer satisfaction, the Formula IV philosophy continues to provide the industry standard for quality, leading-edge nutritional supplementation.
Balanced and potent
Nutrients exist in natural foods in certain balances and potencies. Balance is an important aspect of all GNLD formulations. We strive to create balanced formulations that provide both nutrient density and nutrient diversity. Based on whole-food ingredients, Formula IV and Formula IV Plus deliver balanced ratios of broad-spectrum nutrients, rather than the mega-doses of isolated nutrients found in many other supplements. These products are produced under strict laboratory conditions with the same care for quality, purity and potency that has come to be expected of GNLD. No manufacturer goes to greater lengths to produce safe and effective formulas.
Beyond the basics
While most multivitamin/mineral preparations address - at best - only a few “links” in the “Chain of Life,” GNLD’s Formula IV and Formula IV Plus offer supplementation to fortify the major nutritional links required for optimal health. For example, both products contain a plant based enzyme to assist with digestion and absorption of nutrients. Your body can’t benefit from nutrients unless they are efficiently absorbed. And each Formula IV product provides GNLD’s Exclusive Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates, providing lipids and sterols that support your health at the cellular level. The Tre-en-en in Formula IV and Formula IV Plus works in syergy with the vitamins and minerals in the products to ensure that the cells in your body are fully able to receive and process these critical nutrients. No matter how good your diet, your vitality and health won’t be well supported if your cells don’t receive the nutrients they need. Whereas other supplements don’t even begin to cover the “basics” of human nutrition. Formula IV and Formula IV Plus clearly go well beyond just the basics.
“Dietary insurance" to be your healthy best
Superior supplements enhance your body’s general health, energy level and stress-coping capabilities by addressing dietary “gaps” - this describes Formula IV and Formula IV Plus to a “T”! For decades literally thousands of GNLD customers have reported increased energy and vitality while using Formula IV. This effect can be attributed to synergetically filling in dietary gaps with important nutrients and then making certain those nutrients are delivered into the cells where energy is produced by including Tre-en-en. Some report feeling a positive difference in just days, while others may need to “re-nourish” their systems for several months before they notice results. (Just as nutrient deficiencies are not created overnight, neither can they be corrected instantly.) People all around the world turn to Formula IV and Formula IV Plus for their “dietary insurance,” a way they can be sure each day that they are receiving the complete, balanced nutrition their bodies need.
The supplement with something special - Tre-en-en grain concentrates!
GNLD’s Formula IV and Formula IV Plus are unique multifactor supplements to strengthen nutritional “links” in the “Chain of Life.” Frequently imitated, its formula has never been successfully copied. The main reason? Formula IV and Formula IV Plus offer something extremely special - Tre-en-en Grain Concentrates. Providing the complete lipid and sterol profile of wheat, rice and soya, cold-pressed Tre-en-en provides phytonutrients that are often stripped from dietary staples during food processing, but which our cells need to be healthy and energetic best. It’s been scientifically proven to support efficient nutrient utilization and to support overall growth and development. Tre-en-en’s unique blend of lipid and sterol grain concentrates, function in synergy with the vitamins, minerals and other critical nutrients in Formula IV and Formula IV Plus to support the “links” in the “Chain of Life” with a unique multifactor supplement that no mere vitamin/mineral product on the market can match!
